History
We started Dirty Coast in 2004 to up the ante on what was passing for local apparel. After the storm, our work took on new gravity as the city rallied around shared symbols and a renewed sense of pride. Now--more than ten years later--we've evolved along with our city, becoming both a tourist destination and a local favorite. Our shirts are secret handshakes, game day standards, and Mardi Gras uniforms. They venerate our icons, promote our causes, and celebrate our way of life. Over dozens of shirts, we've honed a distinct voice and fostered real trust with our community. We've developed a reputation for knowing where to find the perfect po boy, which dive bars have the best jukeboxes, and which festivals you can't skip.
